Political career

In June 2025, incumbent state senator Rocky De Witt died of cancer, and a special election was called for August 26 later that year. Drey announced a campaign focused on accessible childcare, funding public education, protecting bodily autonomy, and supporting economic equality.[5] She faced Republican nominee Christopher Prosch, and won by a 10-point margin.[6] She also received more financial support than Prosch, with $260,000 in total funds, including $165,000 in campaign contributions, compared to Prosch total of $181,000, including $20,000 via donors.[7][8] Drey's victory in the special election ended the supermajority Iowa Senate Republicans had previously held.[9] She also expressed interest in running for a full four-year term.[10][11]

On September 15, 2025, she was sworn in by Iowa Supreme Court Justice Matthew McDermott.[12]
